YIJIA ENGINEERING PTE. LTD. is looking for a proactive and site-based Safety Officer / Workplace Safety and Health Officer to support our ongoing cleanroom and semiconductor construction projects in Singapore.

The candidate must be hands-on, responsible, and able to work closely with project managers, site supervisors, workers, main contractors, and client safety teams. This is not a purely office-based administrative role. The candidate is expected to conduct regular site inspections, identify safety risks, follow up on corrective actions, and maintain proper safety documentation.

Key Responsibilities

• Conduct daily site safety inspections and ensure compliance with Singapore WSH requirements, client safety rules, and project safety procedures.

• Monitor high-risk activities, including work at height, hot work, lifting operations, MEWP/scissor lift operations, pipe installation, duct installation, steel support installation, and night work.

• Prepare, review, and maintain Risk Assessments, Safe Work Procedures, Method Statements, Permit-to-Work records, toolbox meeting records, inspection reports, and other safety documents.

• Attend client and main contractor safety meetings, site walks, audits, and inspections.

• Follow up on safety observations, non-compliance issues, corrective actions, and closure reports.

• Conduct toolbox meetings and safety briefings for workers and supervisors.

• Ensure workers comply with PPE, PTW, WAH, MEWP, hot work, lifting, housekeeping, and emergency response requirements.

• Support incident, accident, and near-miss reporting, investigation, and corrective action implementation.

• Maintain safety training records, equipment inspection records, and certificate registers.

• Coordinate with project managers, engineers, supervisors, subcontractors, main contractors, and client safety teams on all site safety matters.

• Represent the company during safety discussions, inspections, audits, and follow-up actions with clients and main contractors.

• Work closely with the project team to improve site safety culture and reduce repeated safety violations.

Requirements

• Must be a MOM-registered Workplace Safety and Health Officer / WSH Officer.

• Minimum 3 years of safety experience in construction, M&E, cleanroom, semiconductor, industrial plant, or similar project environments.

• Experience in managing high-risk site activities such as work at height, lifting operations, hot work, MEWP operations, pipe installation, duct installation, or steel structure installation.

• Familiar with the Singapore WSH Act, WSH regulations, Risk Assessment, PTW system, and site safety documentation.

• Able to work independently and take initiative on site.

• Strong communication and coordination skills with clients, main contractors, supervisors, subcontractors, and workers.

• Able to communicate in English and Chinese, as the role requires daily coordination with English-speaking clients/main contractors and Chinese-speaking management, supervisors, workers, and subcontractors.

• Proficient in preparing safety reports, inspection checklists, corrective action reports, and other safety documentation.

• Candidates with cleanroom, semiconductor factory, M&E, or industrial project experience will have an advantage.

• Must be willing to work on site and support project schedule requirements when necessary.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in cleanroom, semiconductor factory, M&E, or industrial plant projects.

• Relevant certificates such as Work at Height, Manage WSH in Construction Sites, Risk Management, First Aid, or other safety-related certifications.

• Experience dealing with main contractors, client safety teams, safety audits, safety submissions, and site inspections.

• Familiar with RA, SWP, PTW, incident reports, near-miss reports, safety inspection reports, and corrective action closure.

• Able to adapt to a fast-paced project site environment and support overtime, night work, or weekend work when required.

Candidate Profile

We are looking for a disciplined, site-oriented, and practical Safety Officer. The ideal candidate should not only prepare safety documents but also actively walk the site, identify unsafe conditions, communicate with supervisors, and ensure corrective actions are properly closed.

Candidates who prefer a purely office-based documentation role and are not willing to conduct regular site inspections may not be suitable for this position.
